Growing our own Māori and Pacific talent

The Faculty of Arts aims to nurture and develop Māori and Pacific academic talent with our 2023 Te Tomokanga Post-Doctoral Fellowship.

Te Tomokanga is a fully funded, two-year appointment open to Māori and Pacific scholars who have recently completed their PhD in a subject that we offer as a major.

The Fellowship is designed to contribute to the development of local capacity in teaching and research. Fellows will work towards publication of their research and contribute to the teaching programme of the school in which they are appointed. They will be supported by mentors in both teaching and research.

Te Tomokanga Fellowship nods to the importance of Māori and Pacific knowledge and experience in the Faculty of Arts. It acknowledges our need for more Māori and Pacific staff and invests in the future by building their experience and capacity in a supportive environment.

We value our Māori and Pacific PhD candidates and want to support them into postdoctoral positions.

Applications for the 2023 Tomokanga Post-Doctoral Fellowship are open now and will close on Sunday 23 October.
